East Northamptonshire Chooses MrSID26/06/2009 |
| East Northamptonshire has relied upon old plotting sheets (stored in various and disparate locations) to support and make their planning decisions. Having had these maps scanned and geo-referenced, the council GIS team found their large file size a real problem especially when using them within other systems. |
|
To provide the solution the council has purchased a licence of LizardTech's GeoExpress 7.0 from Quarry One Eleven Ltd. GeoExpress will allow the council to convert all their image files into the industry-standard MrSID compression format. Since MrSID can provide up 95% visually-lossless reductions in the image file sizes, the council will see huge increases in the speed of delivery of the maps as well as markedly reducing the capacity required for their storage.
